Synopsis

Father Duffy's Story is a book written by Francis P. Duffy, which tells the tale of the Fighting Sixty-Ninth, a regiment of soldiers who fought in World War I. The book is a memoir of Father Duffy's experiences as a chaplain with the regiment, and it provides a unique perspective on the war. The book is filled with humor and heroism, as well as stories of life and death on the battlefield. Father Duffy's Story is a moving account of the sacrifices made by the soldiers who fought in the war, and it is a tribute to the bravery and resilience of those who served.1919. With an historical appendix by Joyce Kilmer. From the Preface: Battles are not fought by commanding officers alone, not even by chaplains unaided; and the men who do the fighting usually get little personal credit for their valor. My chronicle claims no merit save that of being true. The only critics I had in mind while writing it were those who fought in France. If they say that the pictures are true, I am content. The diary style has been deliberately chosen because it permits the introduction of incidents, and also lends itself to the telling a plain unvarnished tale. Contents: Preparations at Home; In Training Abroad; The Luneville Sector; The Baccarat Sector; The Champagne Defensive; The Battle of the Ourcq; After the Battle; The St. Mihiel Offensive; The Argonne Offensive; and With the Army of Occupation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
